Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola Apologize For 'Creepy' Napkins After Marketing Campaign Backfires

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A marketing campaign that encouraged in-flight flirting didn't go as planned for Delta Airlines. Delta and Coca-Cola are apologizing for cheeky napkins suggesting passengers go old school, write their number on a napkin - and give it to their "plane crush."
The napkins were distributed on Delta flights and included a picture of Diet Coke next to the message.
But the idea was blasted by some social media users, even though others said they liked it.
